Pastel Painting with Steve Hill

Posted July 24, 2017 at 5:54 am by

Lopez artist Steve Hill taught a workshop on pastel painting at three San Juan locations over the weekend. He introduced pastel techniques on Friday at the SJ Islands Museum of Art, and then encouraged participants as they painted “en plein air” on Saturday and Sunday.

In the picture above, students painted in the shade of a white umbrella or the poplar trees near the officers’ quarters at American Camp on Saturday. Below, Jude Hennen chose the shade under the black locust trees near the American Camp visitor center, and Dianne Hall got up close to the colorful plants at the Pelindaba Lavender Farm on Sunday. Also participating were: Malinda Dryer, Edith Thompson, Maia Yip, Martha Spieker, Coral Lehtinen, Mary Navarro, Patricia Slabugh, Susan Stricker and Solange LeFranc (from France).
